Problem in installing vb.net and vb6 together

[ivyfcy]

I am using Chi Win Xp Professional and installed Vb.net and Vb6 on the same partition. The vb.net can run successfully but the vb6 cannot be run.....

What should I do?

Many thanks!

I realise you have it working now.

When installing VB6 and VB.NET together on the same machine it is worth noting that VB6 (or Visual Studio 6) with service packs should be installed first.
Once the VB6 (VS6) installation is complete then .Net can be installed.

This is the recommended Microsoft method.

I did the opposite and worked with no errors and no SP .

Thats great.

I think its one of those works for some but not for others situations.

All the people I asked told me the 6 first .NET after.
